A relief pitcher with a career 4.35 BB/9 rate which spiked up to 5.43 BB/9 last season? Yeah, exactly what we need. I'd rather just let Bailey have it (provided health) with maybe a bit of Melancon and Bard thrown in, if they can get their heads together.

The Pirates also asked the Mariners for one of their top pitching prospects in return for Garret Jones.

They'll ask for Webster from us. No thanks.

I'm not high on Hanrahan, but Jones? I'd trade Webster for Jones - although I'd rather deal a package of lesser guys. Doesn't have much of a glove at 1B, and RF in Fenway would be tough for him, but on the road ha can play RF for sure, and he's a solid DH candidate after Ortiz is gone. He could be extended beyond his 3 years as I think he'd find Fenway to his liking. He kills RHP. He could be a #5 type hitter here vs RHP. Against LHP he should sit or bat 7th or 8th.
